Here’s a brief overview of Rebel Wolves, the studio developing The Blood of Dawnwalker.
A Newly Established Game Studio Focused on RPGs
On its official website, Rebel Wolves describes itself with the following tagline:
A STUDIO BORN OUT OF LOVE FOR RPGs
Rebel Wolves was founded in 2022, and The Blood of Dawnwalker will be the studio’s debut title.
The studio is based in Warsaw, Poland.
Home to Developers Who Worked on The Witcher 3
Among the co-founders of Rebel Wolves is Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, who served as Game Director on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
The studio also includes core developers who worked on both the base game and expansions of The Witcher 3, according to the official Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe website.

If The Blood of Dawnwalker Is Your Kind of RPG
If you are drawn to The Blood of Dawnwalker for its medieval Eastern European dark fantasy, morally gray quests, and emphasis on player choice, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the most natural recommendation.
Dawnwalker director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz also directed The Witcher 3, while several other members of Rebel Wolves previously worked on the game. The connection runs deeper than a shared setting: The Witcher 3 regularly confronts players with flawed choices, consequences that are not immediately apparent, and quests with no cleanly correct outcome.
The two games have different worlds and combat systems, but The Witcher 3 remains the clearest way to experience the RPG design lineage behind The Blood of Dawnwalker.
